Happy New Year! I’m very excited to have started the new year and new semester by curating and installing Fade Like a Sigh, an exhibition of collaborative photographic work by two of my favorite artists, Zora J Murff and Rana Young. I love this work. Please stop by to see the show if you can!

Fade Like a Sigh is on view in Glass Gallery at the Lamar Dodd School of Art now, through January 18th.

I’m thrilled to announce my first ever solo show, Haunts and Related Incidents, opens in Suite Gallery at the Lamar Dodd School of Art this Saturday, October 13! The show will be on display until Friday, November 9, with a closing reception on November 1, and a lunchtime gallery talk with the curator and myself at noon on October 22. Please let me know if you’re able to attend any of the events.

I'm thrilled to have a photograph included in From Here On Out, curated by June T Sanders and Julie Gautier-Downes, on view at Object Space Gallery in Spokane, Washington through the month of September. You can experience the digital exhibition here.

There will be an opening reception on Friday, September 7th from 5-8pm. I wish I could attend. Please plan to stop by if you're in the area!

My fellow UGA photo grads and I are hosting a pop-up show, Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, in our studio-space-turned-gallery, aptly named Five Bananas, at the Dodd (room S290) tonight in Athens. One night only. Come if you can!

I'm very happy to share that two of my photographs are included in The Southern Disposition,on view atIndie Grits Labs in Columbia, South Carolina. If you're in the area, please check it out! The exhibition closes on September 27th. Read more about the show in the press release, below:

Indie Grits Labs is pleased to announce the opening of The Southern Disposition, an exhibition of photographs from a diverse group of Southern artists. Having sought work that “addresses and challenges the social, cultural, and physical landscapes of the South,” we are excited to showcase submissions from over 30 photographers, stationed throughout the Southeast and beyond. Exploring their work, viewers will see common responses emerge: feelings of emotional, physical, and cultural dislocation. There are familiar moments of melancholy and nostalgia, countered with bold expressions of the marginalized experience within the Southern context. Alongside this, there is a sense of something shifting, signs of an uneasy transition. In a place typically inhospitable to minority voices, the power of the traditional majority is called into question with images of its underlying fragility; and within the expressions of displacement, even within the very act of creating these images, there is a suggestion of defiance – hope for a new generation, struggling to claim its place. This is the Southern Disposition.

One of my images has been included in the 2018 Midwest Center for Photography Juried Exhibition. The show will be on display at the Center from January 26 - February 9 in Wichita, Kansas. You can see all the work and learn more about the show here.

I'm excited to share that I've recently been awarded the 2018 Society for Photographic Education Student Award for Innovations in Imaging. Let's connect if you're planning to attend the upcoming national conference in Philadelphia this March. I'll have a table at the curator portfolio walkthrough on Thursday night, stop by to see what I've been up to the past few months.

Additionally, two of my above photographs (Red and 3am) have been selected by juror Anthony Goicolea for inclusion in the 2018 SPE Combined International Caucus Exhibition. The show will only be on display for the duration of the conference (March 1-4) at the UArts Hamilton & Arronson Galleries at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, with a reception from 6:30-8:30pm on Friday, March 2. I hope you'll join us!

Eight of my photographs are included in Wayfaring, on display at the Maine Media Gallery in Rockport, Maine from May 10-20. I can't make it to the opening reception, but let me know if you do! You can find out more information about the gallery here.
